When I run the INIT of this form in debugger (slowly) I see that the window is displayed twice, one each SetFocus(). So it makes the window jump. I tried to set the window Visible to .F. but on the first SetFocut the window is still displayed; and then on the second SetFocus.

Thank you, Naomi. I will try doing it the way you suggest.
